Management Accounting was started in early 2009 to help individuals and businesses with their tax prep and accounting needs. We realized that many individuals were getting stressed at tax time because they were either trying to prepare their returns themselves or were not confident in the person preparing them for them.
Similarly, businesses were having difficulty navigating the regulatory maze laid out for them. Business owners were spending too much time on accounting and not enough time on their business. Our idea at the time was simple: Let’s ease the pain of accounting work by having our accountants handle it for our clients with professionalism and care.
That remains our simple purpose today.

BOB LANGWORTHY, MBA, EA
President
Bob founded Management Accounting in 2009 as a way to combine years of business ownership experience and an MBA to come alongside individuals and small business owners. Prior to founding the accounting practice, Bob was a controller for a Portland-area company and prior to that, he was a founding partner in a greenhouse business. Lessons learned through those work experiences are what inspired Bob to go into accounting. His time is now spent preparing tax returns, consulting for clients, and managing the incredible team that he gets to work with.
Bob graduated from Wheaton College in 1998 with a BS in Geology, Wheaton College Graduate School in 1999 with an MA in Missions and Intercultural Studies, and USM School of Business in 2007 with an MBA in Finance.
Bob and his family reside in Bowdoinham and he can often be found outdoors once tax season is over.
